Re: Questions you've always wanted answered
I think "broken home" is a very weird term for it. I've always thought of that in a more general sense. Like if one of your parents goes out and gets drunk and then comes back and beats everyone, that's a broken home. Not just your parents happen not to live with each other. My sentiments...

There are some people who, when they hear an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs, think that the asteroid actually hit all the dinosaurs.
I'm really hoping this is followed up with a post that says, the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs didn't actually hit all of the dinosaurs.
